Rania "Dr. Feel Good" MV Inspired Look

1:32 PM

Hello everyone! I hope those in the states had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. I took an extra day off work so I'm home today and what better thing to do than work on my blogs and videos, right? Right? That's what everyone does on their days off? ;)

Well, I am happy to say that I finished editing my Rania-inspired tutorial because I am really excited about the way it turned out. I know you guys pick up on all the subtleties in the videos, so give yourself a pat on the back if you noticed the improved quality. ^_^ I guess every new equipment has its learning curve, right?

So if you watched this video you may notice how sexy it is, which is no big deal for American pop stars, but for a Korean-based pop group? Really controversial! They have had a lot of backlash, especially for a rookie group, and I honestly think it's silly because "suggestive" dance moves aren't really a new thing. The girls in this group are all really talented, not to mention multi-ethnic and multi-lingual. One member is actually Chinese, and there is also a Thai member as well as a Korean-Japanese who was born and raised in Japan.

I hope that they don't keep having so much negativity attached to their name because I really like their debut song and appreciate their darker image amongst the many female kpop groups out there. Just my two cents. ^_~

Anyone recognize these star earrings BoA wore a few years back? I thought it suited the look. ^_^

And I wanted to show a couple photos in natural light. This lip color is nice and peach-nudey.

And just because I have too much fun taking extra silly pics and making gifs out of them, here's one more. Seriously, you can only do so many "sexy face" pics before the puffy cheeks inevitably make an appearance. I'm pretty sure it's a basic scientific fact.

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial as well as the new look and feel of the images! I'm thinking of doing a big blog facelift soonish. We'll see. :)

This is one of my favorite looks you've done so far! I really love the black fading into gold, and the shape of the eye shading. And LOL I totally went to check out the video too after watching the tutorial on your channel xD

You really look like the singer but honestly your much more pretty than her hehe :) uhm i tried watching the Music Video, the message of the song is just O_O and the steps CULTURE SHOCK! lol didnt like the song :( 2NE1 is wayy better :D just saying ;D

i am soooo glad you put this tutorial up a) because you did a perfect, fantastic job in replicating the look and b) i have a new song to add to my playlist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hi...miss Jen..:))i just want to know where do you buy your make up stuff..and those brands that you have and you mentioned to your videos..Is there expensive here in the Philippines???or you bought it on an online shop??THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!^^

hoping for you reply..God bless..:))Your great and your videos is really great too..:))

I agree with you Jen about the sexiness of suggested dance moves. However, I did see an article that shared their ages. From 16 to the oldest being only 23. I think even America would make it controversial if a few 16 year old pop stars shared a music video like this- Look how well they accepted Lindsey Lohan and Miley's Cyrus when becoming an adult at 18years old! ha. Thanks! You're gorgeous!

My goodness, I thought the girl on the left (in the comparison photos) were you!!! I don't know if she really does, because I don't follow Rania too closely, but you caught the screencap at the perfect moment - her lips esp resemble your lips! Am I the only one that sees this? :)

Love your tutorials as always!! I tried this look out today and absolutely loved it. I was just wondering - what brand was the skinny pencil brush you used for the black shading? It looks really small for a pencil brush, and since I have smaller eye space, I would love to try it out. Thanks!!

blackkberrys: Sometimes my eyes do get sensitive especially when I put eyeliner on my waterline or if eyeshadow falls into my eyes. That's why I only do heavy makeup occasionally for tutorials and I only line my lash line most days.

grace: I might show a bit of how I store things but I'm considering moving soon so we'll see if it's before or after then. :)

Lily: I used a blush brush by MakeupShow.

Kenzie: I have links in my blog post of what I used in my tutorials. They link to shops of where you can buy them. ;)

Kittin & Amanda: My earrings are from ebay!

Julie: The eyeko liner is my current everyday liner and it's super black which I love. It does fade on my inner corners since it's not really waterproof but for daily use I LOVE it.

Phoebe: My camera is a Canon Rebel XSi

Miss Meow: The brush was from a Sedona Lace brush set that I have... the pink one. :)
